The quick response from the air is becoming routine as the state sees more and more wildfires breaking out in the current hot and dry conditions.

“When we see a start we want to do our best to put that out and get full suppression so that we can focus on the potential for new starts,” said U.S. Forest Service spokesman Chris Sebring.
